Answer:
The answer to the question is
Chlorine Cl₂
Explanation:
Graham's Law of effusion states that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass
0.238 = 
Therefore M₁ = 4÷0.238² = 70.61
Hence the mass of the gas is 70.61, that is X₂ = 70.61 or the molar mass of the element X = 70.61÷2 = 35.308 ≅35.453 Hence the gas is chlorine Cl₂

- <em>What volume will 12g of iron occupy?</em>
<em></em>
<h2>Solution</h2>
<em />
<em>Iron</em> is a solid substance at room temperature. You can find the <em>volume</em> of solids (and of not solids) using the density.
You can obtaindthe density of most pure substances in the internet. The density of<em> iron</em> at room temperature is 7.874 g/cm³.
Thus, substituting in the formula, you get:
The answer is rounded to two significant figures because the input, 12g, has two significant figures.
Answer:
B) -4.1 units
Explanation:
According to this question, a state property X has a value 89.6 units. It undergoes the certain changes as follows:
- first increase by 3.6 units
- then increase by another 18.7 units
- then decrease by 12.2 units
- and finally attains a value of 85.5 units
This can be mathematically represented by 89.6 - {3.6 + 18.7 - 12.2 - x) = 85.5
To get x, we say;
89.6 + 3.6 = 93.2
93.2 + 18.7 = 111.9
111.9 - 12.2 = 99.7
99.7 - 85.5 = 14.2units.
The changes that occured is represented as follows:
= (3.6 + 18.7) - (12.2 + 14.2)
= 22.3 - 26.4
= -4.1 units
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
In the 1800s, a popular belief known as vitalism stated that life processes could not be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry,and were instead dictated by an independent life force. Which discovery most likely caused scientists to revise this hypothesis regarding the origin of life on Earth?
a. that inorganic compounds existed within live organisms
b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory
c. that RNA could serve as a template to synthesize DNA
d. that self-replicating molecules existed inside cells
Answer:
b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory
Explanation:
Vitalism is the belief that "living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things"(wikipedia).
This theory held that the molecules involved in life processes could not be synthesized in the laboratory.
All these were upturned after Fredrich Whöler's synthesis of urea in 1828. He was able to show that molecules involved in life process can also be synthesized in the laboratory. This gave rise to modern synthetic organic chemistry.
The reactants are methane and oxygen.
The products are carbon dioxide and water.
